Title: Colt Mustang .380 ACP & Precision One
Post by: Richard S on January 14, 2015, 09:03:52 PM

Thanks to "Tracker," who brought this link to my attention, my little backup Mustang now has a bigger punch than it previously possessed.

Nice!  Any 9mm versions tested?

Precision One 9mm 147gr review from "shootingthebull410." I think I will stay with HST on the 9mm but to each his own.

Is the Precision1 .380 effectively loaded "hot" to account for the incredible boost in both penetration and expansion?  If so, it may not be the best long-term load for a micropistol.

Unlike the 9mm, the 380 is a low pressure load with the maximum pressure at 21,000 psi vs 35,000 psi for a 9mm and 38,500 psi for the 9mm +P.

Modern firearms should have no problems with the hot 380's.

You get up into the big boys like the 454 and 460 S&W and they are rated at 65,000 psi.
